So this docker thing seems to be getting some traction, and so does function as a service (FaaS). It would be nice if we could have our own FaaS infrastructure in place instead of paying Amazon for it. There are some alternatives out there e.g. OpenFaaS. But we have a bad case of “Not Invented Here” syndrome, so we built one ourselves.
This is a small GoLang infrastructure app that enables one to deploy simple REST servers, acting as single functions. The goal was to deploy and scale the functions horizontally with ease. To achieve this, we leveraged the scaling and service discovery that comes for free in a docker-compose and swarm.
